If you're in the market for a new mid-range gaming PC, one variant of Lenovo's "IdeaCentre" T540 might interest you. The desktop is now just $683.99, a savings of $36 from the previous price, and a $316 drop from the original MSRP.

The T540 (sounds like a Terminator model name, doesn't it?) is equipped with a 6-core Intel Core i5-9400F processor, 16GB of 2666MHz DDR4 memory, a 256GB PCIe SSD, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti 6GB graphics card, and a copy of Windows 10 Home. The 'F' in the processor model means there are no integrated graphics, but since a GPU is present, it doesn't matter much.

This is a great PC for the price, with an Intel Core i5-9400F processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics card. Enter code EXTRA5 at checkout to get the discount.

Although we haven't tested this specific model ourselves, the combination of a Core i5 CPU and GTX 1660 Ti means this should be a great mid-range gaming rig, capable of playing most games at 1080p or 1440p (though you might have to lower settings for the latter). Lenovo is also throwing in a keyboard and mouse.
